wireless connection to the ZillionTV Device. If not, 

the best way to find this information is as follows:

Step 1. 

Locate the user guide for your router. If you 

              don’t have a printed copy, check the install 

              CD that came with the router. If you don’t 

              have the install CD, go to google.com and 

              type “user guide” and then the router manu-

              facturer and model, and press enter. From 

              the list of results, look for a link that goes 

              directly to the manufacturer’s website.

Step 2. 

From a computer that is connected directly 

              to the router (via an Ethernet cable) open a 

              browser window, type the address for your 

              router, and then press enter. All routers have 

              an IP address you can use to access the 

              administrative settings, usually something 

              like 192.168.1.1. Confirm this address in the 

              router user guide.

Step 3. 

You will be prompted for a user name and 

              password to log in to the router. If you have 

              not changed this information, check the 

              router user guide for the default user name 

              and password. Type the user name and 

              password, then click oK. The settings page 

              for your router will be displayed.

If your wireless network is not protected by a pass-

word, the only piece of information you need to 

connect to it is the network name, also called the 

SSID (service set identifier). However, if your wire-

less network is password-protected, there are three 

pieces of information you need to connect wirelessly 

to your ZillionTV Device: 

     -

 the SSid, or network name:  By default, the 

       network name is broadcast by your router so 

       that wireless devices can associate to your wire-

       less network. If you have a wireless device, 

       such as a laptop that is connected to your home 

       network, you can find the network name from 

       your laptop by looking at the details of your 

       wireless connection.

     -

 the type of encryption being used: The 

       encryption method is usually WEP (Wired Equiv-

       alent Privacy) or WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access).

- 

the wireless password, often called a pass-

       code or key: When you provide a wireless 

       device, such as a laptop, with the wireless 

       password associated with an SSID, the device 

       stores this information. The device is then able 

       to connect to that wireless network whenever 

       the network is available.
